I have been married twice. First to a Chineese girl and now to a Mexican woman. We are very happy and no one seems to mind. I am white. I have no problem with anyone dating or getting married as long as they are in love I guess. My sister normaly dates only black men. I think in her 30 years she has only dated a couple guys that were not black. Doesn't seem to bother her. And it doesn't seem to bother my family. My thought is that you do what you and your partner want to do and let everyone else live there life. Just too many people that don't have a life that try to get involved with someone elses life.

It's not a problem at all in LA. That is one of the beautiful things about this place. Very diverse and we all get mixed up together. I am white. I have been here three years and have dated African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and Caucasian women. And these are women I met in my everyday life. I didn't go out of my way to meet them. I don't see why the same wouldn't apply to you as well.

So your so-called "facts" certainly don't negate ours.

Nice try, though.

I never said they did. What's with all these weird statements? I expressed my opinion and stated a few facts, and since you like neither, you then claimed I invented my facts. Now, you're claiming that I claimed my facts "negate" others, which I never stated.

Enjoying yourself?

Dude, don't be gullible.

Who are you and why should I care what you think?

You expressed your opinion in an attempt to discourage the original poster, when your "opinion" doesn't speak for everyone.

He shouldn't be discouraged from moving to West L.A. simply because you and your friends don't "date out", as you like to say.

Believe it or not, it's not all about you. You see (I'll try to simplify this for you), you and your buddies aren't the *only* women on
the west side. If you were, then yes, the original poster would indeed be "wasting his time" (your words, not mine).

But you're not. You see, there are thousands of women in West L.A., Santa Monica, Westwood, Mar Vista, Venice, Marina Del Rey...
women of all shapes, sizes, religions, temperaments, and opinions. Indeed, some would agree wholeheartedly with your opinions and preferences, but others wouldn't.

I guess you really thought everyone thinks just like you. Sorry.

And yes, I do enjoy razzing pesky trolls!

I never said you should "care about what I think". I certainly couldn't care less about your posts or opinions.

I gave the OP my opinion. If you don't like it, then that's not my problem. I told him that I was not interested in what he intends, where as you did not, and you can't, since you don't speak for me. From my perspective, and many I know, he's wasting his time. You don't even live out here, so you don't know what you're talking about. And no, there aren't minions of women who are lining up to date blacks, which can be demonstrated on any weekend night out here. So get a clue and stop wasting everybody's time.

That's obviously not true, since you keep responding to my posts with illogical rantings in an attempt to discredit me. Well guess what...it's not working homeboy.

The original poster didn't direct his question to *you* specifically, his question was a general one, so who cares about
what *you're* not interested in. He didn't ask any specific person out on a date.

I *do* live "out here", and have seen plenty of mixed couples at the House Of Blues, Gabbah, Knitting Factory,
and other venues on plenty of weekend nights. Must be rough when the world won't think the way you want it to think.

*You're* the one who doesn't live out here (troll) because everybody knows what the original poster asked,
as far as SoCal is concerned, is no big deal.

But keep trying! Don't give up! You can do it! You may actually...eventually...make a post that makes some logical sense.
